About

Neurosis' third album Souls at Zero, originally released in 1992 on Alternative Tentacle, represented a major turning point for the band, as they established the groundwork for what would eventually become known as post-metal: a fusion of influences from disparate genres such as sludge metal, post-rock, hardcore punk, shoegaze, folk, doom metal, ambient, progressive metal, and industrial metal that at the time was completely unique. The album is regarded as a landmark in the genre and the band's style has since become widely imitated. Stylistically, the band here slowed down their tempi radically and began using unusual instruments for the metal genre such as violin, cello, and trumpet. The band layered their music densely and incorporated a number of atmospheric samples from various spoken word sources to complement their lyric. The material here also showcases a substantial folk influence that had not been evident in the band's music previously. .
